Microplastics, the microscopic plastics, are fragments of any type of plastic that are being
produced today as plastic waste originating from anthropogenic activities. Such …

Particulate plastic fragments (micro and nano-plastics) in aquatic environments provide
abundant solid substrates, which serve as an important habitat for a variety of …

In recent years, airborne microplastics have been identified in a range of remote
environments. However, data throughout the Southern Hemisphere, in particular Antarctica …

This paper serves to enhance the current knowledge base of airborne microplastics which is
significantly smaller than that of microplastics in marine, freshwater and terrestrial …

Soil contamination is one of the main threats to ecosystem health and sustainability. Yet little
is known about the extent to which soil contaminants differ between urban greenspaces and …

Microplastic (MP) pollution is of great environmental concern. MPs have been found all over
the Earth, including in the poles, which is indicative for the important threat they constitute …

Microplastic particles (MPs) are ubiquitous across a wide range of aquatic habitats but
determining an appropriate level of risk management is hindered by a poor understanding of …

Microplastics have been reported from various ecosystems including lakes, ponds,
wetlands, mountains, and forests globally. Recent research works showed microplastic …

Microplastics, defined as particles< 5 mm in diameter, are emerging environmental
pollutants that pose a threat to ecosystems and human health. Biofilm degradation of …

The menace of plastic which is polluting the ocean has emerged as a global problem. It is
well-known to everyone that the ultimate end for most of the plastic debris is the ocean. The …
